Single Sunflower

I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did...I took over the kitchen table and stamped like mad at every opportunity I got. I am pleased with quite a bit I made and look forward to sharing :o)

I made this card for a fun Sketch Challenge over on Stamp TV and even combined it with the Potluck Friday challenge which was to use sunflowers on a project. I love the big sunflower from Melanie's stamp set A Year of Flowers and stamped it with Memento Black and colored it with my Copics. I don't have the exact yellow I wanted, but created a more subdued yellow by combining it with a caramel Copic. The designer paper I used is Basic Grey June Bug, which I LOVE...I almost didn't buy this one, but so glad I did. I love red/yellow together and find this card quite cheerful and I don't generally like bold brights colors and patterns, but this I *love*. It just makes me smile :o)

Well, I have a busy day here. It is the first day of VBS this week and I am teaching the 4 year olds. I haven't done this age group in years and have some fun things planned and look forward to working with them. By the time I come home, my youngest will go down for a nap and maybe, just maybe I can stamp some more.

I looovvve sunflowers, and this card is just perfect! I love the colors and embelishments you chose!! Also, check out my blog:http://outsidetheboxinsidethelines.blogspot.com/2009/08/thanks-patti.html I have nominated you for a blog award! :)
